"iPhone" Music Producer uses iPad Extensively on Two Charity Releases

In 2010, music producer Freematik made an international splash with iMatik, an album made completely with iPhone apps, that sounded like a professional music release instead of a gimmick. Now he returns with two projects, one made completely with iPad apps, and another which combines iPad apps with traditional production, both of them being released with the intention of raising money for charity.

The project completed with only an iPhone is called "Where the Wild Things At?" and is a nearly 10-minute long instrumental electronic jam, covering various electonic genres. Freematik calls it an "iPad Journey" since it meanders through a number of different moods and textures. It is being sold for a $1 download and can be found at bay2africa.org/music. 100% of the sales go directly to Bay2Africa, a new charity Freematik recently started, which is described in more detail below.

The hybrid project is similarly called "Where the Wild Things Is" (the titles are a nod to Maurice Sendak, the legendary children's book writer who passed away in 2012) and is a 13-track album, and the download is being sold for $5 at freematik.com, with 50% of proceeds going to the Bay2Africa charity.

Bay2Africa is a new charity Freematik started, which uses Bay Area music to raise money for a variety of African charities. The charity just started this last holiday season, and released a self-titled debut mixtape which helped raise money for sanitation and rainwater collection equipment, by way of the "Gifts of Water" Canadian-based charity. Freematik is very excited about the launch of this charity, and is enthusiastic about the possibilities for the future. More information about Bay2Africa can be found in the press link below.

While Freematik has owned an iPad since the day the first one came out, he was at first disappointed by a lack of "truly excellent" apps. As Freematik states:

"At first when the iPad came out, there were a lot of good music apps, and just playing with them was a lot of fun. But at the time you could not copy and paste audio, sync apps, run multiple apps simultaneously, etc. Plus the truly great sounding apps were missing, such as the Korg and Moog apps, at first it basically just felt like a big iPhone, so I gave up on really trying to do music seriously with it. The games started getting good, and that's what I really used it for at first. But now, music apps have truly grown up, apps like Tabletop and Garageband, and many others, really are limitless in their potential. I didn't scratch the surface of what you can do with this device, but I'm excited to do what people are doing with these things in 5 or more years!"
